Question

63. What is the slope of a line that passes through points (-5,4) and (3,2) A 4

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-4)/(3-(-5))

m=-2/(3+5)

m=-2/8

simplify

m=-1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)

m = $\frac{2-4}{3+5}$ = $\frac{-2}{8}$ = - $\frac{1}{4}$
